Disney’s new film reveals the origins of one of their most famous villains, sharing the events that hardened Maleficent’s heart and drove her to curse the baby Aurora in the 1959 classic "Sleeping Beauty."

Jolie announced that Maleficent would be her next role back in February while at the Berlin International Film Festival.

"I haven't acted in two years, and I haven't done anything else since this ['Land of Blood and Honey']. The next thing I am looking at is a Disney movie," said the actress.
